>What does NOS mean?




NOS is the acronym for New Old Stock. It's an item that is old, but ios not
used. Since it never sold, it's technically "new" even though it may be
several years old. I have quite a supply of NOS novelties and magic tricks
>from the 1940's and 1950's, for example. I bought them from an antique
store who had bought it from the original owner who had the items stored
when he went out of business.

Besides being virtually unusued, NOS music items have additional value
since they often come in the original packing, all instructions are
there, etc. etc.
